Summary

Traver Elementary is a very small PK–8 public school serving 75 students at W3490 Linton Rd in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, part of the Linn J4 School District. Its size shapes nearly everything about the school: with so few students, individual grade levels contain only a handful of test-takers, so year-to-year results can swing sharply and should be read with caution.

In 2025–26, Traver ranked 704th of 1,039 Wisconsin schools (32nd percentile, 2 stars), placing it below most nearby schools, including Reek Elementary (87th percentile), Eastview Elementary, Williams Bay Elementary, and Woods Elementary (all 4-star), Star Center Elementary (69th), and Fontana Elementary (59th), while ranking above Walworth Elementary and Brookwood Middle. The school's own rank has been volatile, sliding from 3–4 stars in 2020–21 to 1–2 stars in recent years. Notably, its 32nd-percentile showing is stronger than the Linn J4 School District's overall rating (0 stars, bottom 9% of the state).

Traver has the highest poverty rate (56% free/reduced lunch), the highest per-student spending ($27,340), and the lowest student-teacher ratio (5.2) among nearby schools, yet those resources have not consistently produced top-tier results. Chronic absenteeism is a bright spot at 7.5%, well below the state's 17.3%. Academically, 3rd and 4th grade results are often above state, while 7th and 8th grade math and ELA frequently fall below state and below higher-performing neighbors. Historically, low-income students performed strongly (95th–98th percentile in 2018–19 and 2020–21), though that data is older.
